A member asked:
Is it possible to get antidepressants without parents permision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If a minor, no: If you're truly 38 years old, you don't need your parents' permission to be treated for depression. If you're actually a minor, you do need parental permission. That is, unless you're an emancipated minor -- which requires a lot more paperwork and a longer-term process.
